## Description

Review: A nice module, but you really need to read the instructions - I gave this thing 5-stars because once you have it working it's really great, but it can be a pain to get working. That's par for the course with these teensy ZWave modules though, and the interface really is as good as it can be given the limitations. Wiring the module in is pretty straightforward. Getting it to successfully pair with my home network was a pain though until I read the instructions. In particular, there is a small recessed button on the back of the module that the manual calls the "B button." If something has gone wrong with the setup, there is a procedure for resetting the device by holding this button until the LED light begins to cycle colors, then when the correct color indicating "factory reset" appears, let go and click it *again* immediately before the light goes off. I had somehow coaxed the module into a bad state, but once I figured out the reset procedure it paired no problem. It's also a little simpler to do the pairing by clicking this button multiple times than toggling the connected switch if you're trying to diagnose a potential installation mistake. Once you get it setup, this thing is jam packed with features. Setting them requires a good interface, but presuming you have that you can adjust a ton of different settings. You can set it to work with a toggle switch rather than a momentary switch, change the dimming characteristics including whether it's leading edge or trailing edge, and read power consumption from the module.
Review: Works well, but won't calibrate with many LED bulbs - The unit works well, but isn't compatible with a lot of LED bulbs. Calibration fails and the module won't work at all if calibration fails.

### ⭐⭐ Works well, but won't calibrate with many LED bulbs
*by M***R on September 30, 2023*

The unit works well, but isn't compatible with a lot of LED bulbs. Calibration fails and the module won't work at all if calibration fails.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Aeotec is better
*by G***N on September 3, 2019*

From a feature comparison, I like the similar Aeotec dimmer module better.
